.htpasswd file (I have one located in the protected directory and one in my root diretory "/" because I was troubleshooting)

Code:

paige:cwMvd.rFGZOrI
tre:cwmI7DZbs0Kd.

I called RoadRunner tech support, and they swear that no one has a FULL PATH (i.e., /home/paihann/) on their servers. WTF! I know I need the full path for my .htpasswd file location, and im not sure if "/" is cutting it.

err, that's a HOME cable modem page... I don't even know that they have .htaccess files enabled for you. What do you have? 2MB? Why not get a real host? You can probably find a free host that does what you need.
